conjugal

To join or yoke together. I am not kidding the Latin "iugum" meant to yoke. No joke.

Some marriage ceremonies have a binding act, wherein the couple are loosely bound together at the wrist. Just as we say "tying the knot," they do it for real.

As to getting hitched, it's pretty much the same, too, no?
